Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps

  • It was very hard for me to explain the problem I’m searching a solution for and equally for the proposed solution ideas.

  • We discussed a lot of more philosophical questions and if peer-dids are a good thing or not and if it is worth trying to minimize correlation when any involved party anyway stores the personal data of the related persons. I think we should make it as hard as possible to correlate data, even if we can not completely prevent it.

  • We also discussed the potential complexity of such a solution and if it is worth it. The conclusion was to minimize the number of personas one should (be forced) to hold, such that it is still easy to maintain.
